This is exactly the point of the test.
Engines should detect illegal position and refuse to analyze it.

Movei still does not know to do it and simply may crash in some illegal
positions(It will not accept now positions when the king of the side not to move
is under threat but it still can accept other problems like king that is checked
from 2 bishops directions and I am afraid that it may crash in these cases
because my move generator assumes no check from 2 bishop directions).
